Thermal Pins – Heat Pipes for the Molding Industry

Posted January 10, 2018byNoren Thermal

Heat exchanger technology has grown a reputation for changing the way industries think of thermal management. In some industries, harnessing and directing heat is required for more than just effectively cooling control panels and electrical enclosures. For instance, the molding industry operates on the principles of rapidly heating and cooling various materials. Because effective and reliable thermal management is directly involved in the molding process, a company’s choice in thermal management solutions directly affects its level of productivity and success. With the addition of thermal pins, molding companies can implement advanced heat pipe technology to the molding process, enjoying significant savings on energy while improving productivity and precision.

Rapid, More Precise Molding

Whether it’s in injection or extrusion molding, the process requires rapidly melting glass, plastic, or ceramic into appropriate molds, then cooling the material before it can be released. The rate at which the molding equipment can heat and cool the appropriate materials impacts overall productivity. The quality of the equipment’s thermal management capabilities also impacts the quality of the final molds; if the cooling process is too slow or uneven, then there is a higher risk of imperfect molds.

Thermal pins are high-performance heat pipes that are designed specifically to fit a variety of molding equipment, even machinery that is not originally designed for them. As specialized heat pipes, thermal pins can bring the benefits of water cooling to equipment that does not have room for more traditional water cooling apparatus. They’re also isothermal to significantly reduce the risks of variations in finished molds.
